SOWETO - You Give Me Fever [2008]

(English text below)

Definitivamente el primer álbum de esta gran banda de ska y rocksteady va a ser uno de los discos del año 2008 debido a su espectacular y original sonido. Como en la era dorada de la música jamaicana "You give me fever" te hará bailar, sentir y gozar el autentico ritmo ska. Los temas propios de Soweto te transportaran hacia las bandas jamaicanas del los 50 y 60 y si has escuchado a los clásicos no creerás que este disco se ha grabado y editado en 2008.

Tema tras tema podrás notar diferentes aromas pero todos ellos vienen de la misma fuente: músicos de reggae tocando lo que de verdad les gusta, adentrándose en las raíces de la música que aman y haciendo de este disco un regalo a todos los coleccionistas del viejo ska y rocksteady, a los amantes de la música negra, y a cualquier adicto a la música de baile en general y en especial la de los años 60. Y por si esto no fuera poco encontrarás en este gran disco al legendario BB Seaton de "The Gaylads" cantándonos dos clásicos jamaicanos: el precioso rocksteady-lovers "Jamaican girl" y el rompe pistas de baile "Whapa do di wha". "Asi que si estas listo prepárate para contagiarte de esta fiebre ya que Soweto ya la tiene."
